my J got updated, it's really go smoother, but the battery didn't last as long as previous ICS, and i think xperia J will not have update to 4.2

because of hardware limitation
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Meurbal:
Is the battery life significantly less? or just a bit?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] keldy:
Opinion

Upgraded.

Not a whole lot 'buttery' smooth like iOS due to cpu and chipset limitations (it's just 1 cpu whadda expect?)

But at least it is functionally responsive to touch, and you 'get things done' despite jerkiness and stutters.

Good effort by Sony in reviving such a slow phone, but I am more than satisfied with the new firmware.

But I feel the camera app launch speed can be faster, always missing another great shot.

Some people experienced shorter battery life, because after upgrading, they explored the phone more often out of excitement.

Otherwise, battery is the same.

I don't know about the battery life. I don't know how some people are not happy with the new firmware.

My opinion is that after this update the Xperia J finally feels like a real android phone from 2012 year.

Finally everything is smooth and runs like it supposed to. (on a single core CPU that is - can't ask for miracles)

I am very happy with the new update.

Can you please tell me if update via ftf flash will reset the phone to default or it will leave all data, apps and customization?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] rexxxxx:
yes it leaves all the data, but you have to specify not to WIPE DATA before flashing.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AppReviewBros:
UPDATE: It all worked fine!

First of all, I am sorry if this question has already been answered. Yes, I have searched for it and found some answers but this is just to make sure everything's alright.

Anyway, since I bought a new phone this X-mas I have put my Galaxy S2 in a locker and, although I am not a newbie in this scene, I just wanted to make sure I don't mess up the whole procedure. It is just that I have never had to go back to stock.

So, what I need to do is make the phone run 100% Stock (Official 4.1.2 JB) again because I am planning to sell it next week.

Currently the phone is rooted, has CWM recovery installed and is running a custom AOSP 4.1.2 ROM with Dorimanx V7.27 kernel.

Is it true, to go back to stock I'd have to do the following:

1. Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe Cache Partition

2. Flash the stock .tar image file using Odin

Did I miss anything?

UPDATE: It all worked fine!

So, I see that the black xperia Z has highly visible fingerprints, I wonder if the white one will make them less noticeable? Can anyone with the white one confirm? Also, which colour are you going to buy ? :laugh:

I'm confused between black and white
[Xperia Z General] justgotusedto1.1:
Me too. But I've gone for Black as IMO it looks better and apparently the fingerprints are easy to remove
[Xperia Z General] GuestK00431:
I've gone for white so I aint got to fully see those finger prints on the back.
[Xperia Z General] markiepuk:
I have the white Had Black phones for ages and fancied a change.

Finger prints are not to visible on the back.

But I still polish it every time I use it as you can still see them and it bugs the hell out of me!!
[Xperia Z General] Al Gore:
Tough choice for me. White looks great, black looks good too but has fingerprints problem. You aren't going to look at the back of your phone though.

Will probably get black because it's less visible during 'stealth' photo shoots.
[Xperia Z General] randomuseresato:
There is already a thread for this. Please use search function. :)
[Xperia Z General] youknow_88:
Sv: Black | White | Purple choice and why thread

I would prefer the white one but as I can't wait to get the XZ, I'm getting the black one. The Black one releases 2 weeks before the white in Sweden.
[Xperia Z General] Mitsuya Cider:
black, cause I am not a child anymore.

White screams too loud young...
[Xperia Z General] marcgear:
Black imo it looks better regardless of fingerprints.
[Xperia Z General] MasK:
I'm getting white as the full black face of the screen stands out more and that looks neat. Also, fingerprints will be less obvious as mentioned.

The fingerprints on the screen are likely to be "auto-wiped" each time you insert and remove the phone from the pocket. However, the back will always have fingerprints as your hand is going to be covering the back as you grasp the phone in your pocket. Ya feel me guys?
[Xperia Z General] spurs1959:
I've gone for black as it looks sleeker. If you apply the front and rear screen covers contained in the box the fingerprint problem is much less. It's just the factory applied anti-shatter films that show lots of fingerprints.
[Xperia Z General] djnino4style:
White, because it's very beautiful :D
[Xperia Z General] Crucio_:
Gone for white as i love white phones :P I also hope it wont show as many fingerprint marks on the back of it :)

Hello,

I use Tytung's ICS 4.0.4 for my T-Mobile HTC HD2 (NAND), I've been using this ROM for months.

As such there is no problem with functioning of the ROM.

But my battery drains at a very fast rate. With 6hrs of use it drains to 20% at lowest brightness and no major applications running (2 applications in background at most).

Data enabled (2G).

What to do? Please help!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Can you download CurrentWidget from the Play store and give a value in mA? If you mean 6hrs without any usage then that's pretty poor. Try turning on airplane mode to determine whether it's an app or one of your connections that's causing the problem.

In currentwidget, the values should be approximately 4mA drain in standby with any connections enabled and 2mA in standby in airplane mode. Screen on drain varies a lot more.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sonalikagaur:
OK, thanks. will revert back soon.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sonalikagaur:
With screen OFF, networks ON, 2g enabled....drain is 6mA.

With screen OFF, airplane mode ...drain is 5mA.

:(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
That's high but shouldn't be causing a drain of 20% in 6 hours. It's probably just draining a lot when you're using the phone, and there's not much you can do other than turning the brightness down which you've done already.

try wiping battery stats through recovery...fully charge your battery then wipe stats and let your battery to get fully discharge before you connect it to a charger for about a week...My battery never lasted more than a half day before doing this...now it lasts more than a day...Hope this works
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sonalikagaur:
Okz.. :) will try this..hope this works.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
I wonder if this myth will ever die..

Google engineer Dianne Hackberry has talked about several myths about the Android operating system, including wiping battery stats.

The reasoning behind that piece of advice was something like this: If you, at some point, did not charge your Android device fully (for example, only to 80%), it would supposedly remember that battery level as “fully charged” – in this case, you’d only ever get to use 80% of your battery, which is of course less than optimal. So, if you wipe the battery stats, usually done in ClockWord Mod Recovery, the device would “forget” the previous level, here 80%, and instead charge to the full 100% once again, thereby re-calibrating the battery. Or, as Hackborn puts it in more technical terms:

The battery indicator in the status/notification bar is a reflection of the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/ directory.

However, as she explains, that’s not the case. Because those battery stats, stored in the batterystats.bin file, are only used to maintain information about what is using the battery when not recharging. That is, it essentially holds the information displayed in the Settings > Battery screen. Nothing more, nothing less. Thus:

It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.

It has no impact on your battery life.

What’s more, you’ve probably noticed that the battery usage data is reset once you recharge your device anyway. From this you can correctly deduce that the battery stats are wiped as well – every time your device is recharged. More or less every day. If there was any effect, you would’ve noticed it without going into recovery and doing that stuff. Typical placebo, eh?

I’m as confused as a baby in a topless bar...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
^Whenever someone asks 'how do I reduce my battery drain', ten people immediately jump in with 'CALIBRATE!!11oneeleven!'. No hate directed at whoever posted that advice here, I understand how easy it is to be misinformed (as I was about using SetCPU ;) ), I just think that rumours like this are too easily presented as facts.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sonalikagaur:
I found out something.... usually I used to keep my 2G ON the whole day...but when I switched my data OFF when not in use...my 6hrs...20% battery remaining changed to 8hrs..n 75% remaining.

That's a huge difference. :)

Can anyone suggest a good app for this? Switching my data OFF automatically when not in use .!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I think Juice Defender has this functionality built in.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
I would guess that many so called "battery saver" apps might have it, not really sure.

I don't turn off data when not in use automatically but I do use Tasker to turn it off for several hours while I sleep.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Yeah Tasker can do this but it's a paid app. Juice Defender is free and can also do the same thing in this case. I agree that Tasker is awesome but not necessarily for saving battery, more for ease of use.

[Problem] Android SQLIte Database Development, "getDatabase called recursively"

Morning, mates.

I'm having a serious problem right now and hope you can help.

I'm writing a tool for android that utilizes a database. Here' is what happens:

As soon as the first request is sent to the DatabaseHandler i wrote, the app crashes with an

02-24 10:45:54.636: E/AndroidRuntime(10845): java.lang.IllegalStateException: getDatabase called recursively

After some digging, that included decompiling the android.jar (only contains API stubs, yay) i've found, that the onCreate Method is called more often than it should. I suspect a problem in storing the database.

To confirm that i need to have a look at the current SQLiteOpenHelper.class which i cannot find anywhere.

I will share code as needed, but as it is a commercial project i cannot post it in public.

I'm grateful for every hint/clue/tip whatsoever, this is costing me sleep.

Google is pushing out an update to the Play Store for Android with version 3.10.14. The difference in size compared to the previous version 3.10.10 from a bit over 2 months ago is about 14KB, and after ripping through the APK, I found no significant changes. There are some tweaks to the billing code, but from what I can tell, this is a bug fix release.

If you spot any changes compared to 3.10.10, drop a note in the comments.

Download:

The APK, uploaded by XDA member ecs1984, is signed by Google and upgrades your existing Play Store. The cryptographic signature guarantees that the apk was not tampered with in any way and is therefore safe to install. Use this download if you'd rather have the latest version rather than having to wait for Google to randomly push it to your device. Download and install it just like any other APK.

Play Store : Download the zip file and boot into recovery and flash it.. Use a file explorer that you can view system files and make sure your Market is named Phonesky.apk instead of Vending.apk.. Rename it if needed and reboot.. then flash mine..

install new version Play Store like every apk and it is it.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] toshibashi:
how can I check?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Deleted member 4398224:
After installed Gapps, connect on Internet, click on icon of Play Store, when Play Store open, try instal some application from Play Store.

If it work, it is O.K. After of this, install new version Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] toshibashi:
Thanks for your hints! I wiped everything including factory reset and installed again. Gapps are included in ROM but Play Store still "Application not found".
